40 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 2 On the first day of the afirst month shalt thou bset up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. 3 And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and ccover the ark with the vail. 4 And dthou shalt bring in the table, and set in order †the things that are to be set in order upon it; eand thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof. 5 fAnd thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle. 6 gAnd thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation. 7 And hthou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein. 8 And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate. 9 And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and ianoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy. 10 And thou shalt anoint kthe altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar †most holy. 11 And thou shalt anoint kthe laver and his foot, and sanctify it. 12 lAnd thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water. 13 And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, mand anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office. 14 And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats: 15 And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office: for their anointing shall surely be nan everlasting priesthood throughout their generations. 16 Thus did Moses: according to all that the Lord commanded him, so did he.

17 *And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the otabernacle was reared up. 18 And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his pillars. 19 And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the Lord commanded Moses. 20 And he took and put pthe testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark: 21 And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and qset up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the Lord commanded Moses. 22 rAnd he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail. 23 sAnd he set the bread in order upon it before the Lord; as the Lord had commanded Moses. 24 tAnd he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward. 25 And uhe lighted the lamps before the Lord; as the Lord commanded Moses. 26 xAnd he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail: 27 And he burnt ysweet incense thereon; as the Lord commanded Moses. 28 zAnd he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle. 29 aAnd he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and bthe meat offering; as the Lord commanded Moses. 30 cAnd he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal. 31 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat: 32 When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; das the Lord commanded Moses. 33 eAnd he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.

34 Then fa cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and gthe glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 35 And Moses gwas not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. 36 hAnd when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel †went onward in all their journeys: 37 But iif the cloud were not taken up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up. 38 For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
